dougall Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 ?need to narrow down whether you want o/u or s/s first might help your search?...I am sure you know but lightweight = recoil..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAB1954 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 As above however with a light weight 12 gauge + light loads [3/4 or 7/8 oz] = light recoil. That's what I did for my young sons and they managed fine. If you are going to use 1 1/8 oz loads it will increase recoil. When I was younger a lot of people shot light 12 gauge SxS with 1 oz loads and I don't recall recoil being an issue. There are real bargains to be had if you decide to go for a SxS, they are out of fashion at the moment hence the prices but fine for game or clay's. Hope this helps.

Gunman Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I think the problem here is gun weight ,in so much as the handle able weight , O/Us do tend to be heavier than SxS's ,one reason so many go for the 20 bore option . I would suggest that a 26" gun may be the route you need to take at as again it will make the gun easier to handle . Ladies tend to have small hands so a semi pistol /POW or straight had stock may be an advantage ,again O/Us tend to be bigger in the hand than a SxS so the small bore guns are favoured for this . In you price range you are limited and there are lightweight guns out there but they do tend to be a bit on the primitive side , tInvestarm is a good example .
